The Bioclimatology group at the Georg-August-Universitaet Göttingen
is offering in the project BaririFlux a <b>position as a </b><b>PhD
student</b> on<br>
<br>
<b>Investigating the water cycle of a tropical mountain rainforest
in Sulawesi/Indonesia using stable water isotope </b><br>
<br>
<br>
The position will be limited for 3 years and should be filled as
soon as possible. Salary: Pay grade 65 % TVL 13 of German state
regulated public service salary scale.<br>
<br>
<b>Your duties </b><br>
The project aims to quantify the isotopic signature of water vapor
exchange of a montane rainforest, to determine the origin and
recycling of atmospheric water using stable water isotopes, and to
characterize plant water isotope composition. Tasks include testing
and installation of a laser spectrometer for water isotope
measurements and meteorological instruments , organization and
carrying out field measurements in Sulawesi/Indonesia, supervision
of local assistants, analysis and interpretation of data,
presentation of results nationally and internationally, publishing
in peer-reviewed journals.<br>
<br>
<b>Your profile</b><br>
• M.Sc. degree in meteorology, environmental sciences,
geo-ecology, biology, physics, geography, etc.<br>
• Experience with data analysis in R or Matlab is a plus<br>
• Willingness to collaborate with Indonesian and German Partners<br>
• Ability and willingness to do extended fieldwork in the tropics<br>
• Proficiency (Fluency) in English; German a plus.<br>
<br>
The project will be based in Göttingen, but fieldwork is done in
Central Sulawesi/Indonesia. Longer stays (up to 10 months) at the
field site are expected. Close research collaboration with the
University of Tadulako in Palu/Sulawesi and the necessary research
infrastructure already exist.<br>
<br>
The University of Göttingen is an equal opportunities employer and
places particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for
women. Qualified women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply as
they are underrepresented in this field. Disabled persons with
equivalent aptitude will be favoured.<br>
